What’s unique about us?

1) Our Approach

Our curriculum revolves around Learning Expeditions. Learning Expeditions are long-term studies of a single topic in which teachers connect rigorous academic learning, aligned with standards, to adventure, service and character development. Expeditionary Learning has enjoyed overwhelming success in 140 schools and is found in twenty nine states.

2) Our School Size

We are dedicated to maintaining a personalized academic environment. Our size will enable us to review each student’s abilities so we can design and individualize instruction that will maximize their academic potential. Unlike most large schools in California, our small size will also help in creating a safe, nurturing environment in which students, staff, and families work together cooperatively as a team.

3) Expeditionary Learning

Expeditionary Learning is a proven educational approach to teaching and learning that creates a school culture that motivates students to take responsibility for their own learning and do more than they thought they could ever accomplish. Students, staff, and parents work together to actively support students in reaching their greatest potential.
